Suu Kyi lawyer says delays in trial will help prosecution

BURMESE pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was “absolutely dissatisfied” that her trial was adjourned yesterday as it will give the prosecution more time to prepare its case, her lawyer said.

Suu Kyi’s trial was postponed until Monday after her defence gave a 30-page closing statement, said one of her lawyers, Nyan Win.

Suu Kyi, 64, is charged with violating the terms of her house arrest by harbouring an uninvited American man who swam to her lakeside home and stayed for two days.
